TRAVEL

Compass Point is a 5 minute walk to the Algiers Ferry, which will get you to downtown new Orleans in about 15 minutes. This makes it pretty easy to stay downtown or in the French quarter if you dont mind a quick stroll to the venue. Compass Point os also close to the bridge, if you happen to be staying across the Mississippi and coming by car.

We have secured a block of rooms for guests at the International House Hotel, highly rated and central location but also affordable, below is the link for block (just copy and paste):

GETTING AROUND

Getting to/from Airport:

We recommend taxi or Uber/Lyft. You may also rent a car.

Parking:

The reception venue has free parking. You will likely be required to pay for parking at your hotel and for other outings.

Walking:

New Orleans--especially in and around the French Quarter, where we will be--is very walkable. We encourage this mode of transportation when possible. There is so much to see and do! Walking is the best way to see New Orleans' personality, culture, and history! (Not to mention, you can bring a to-go cup of whatever you want on your walk.)

Uber/Lyft:

For longer trips (more than 15-20 minute walk), we recommend using Uber or Lyft.

Public Transit:

You may want to check out the open-air street cars for getting to certain destinations. They are fun and affordable, if a little crowded!
